It seems that any statement of the form "EMACS does X", where "X" can
be interpreted by someone as undesirable, will be followed up by at
least one message, and usually several, saying how EMACS can be reconfigured
to avoid the problem.  Taking note of this trend, I suggest that correspondents
on this mailing list adopt at least one, and maybe both, of the following
suggestions:

1.  THOU SHALT NOT make any negative comments about the operation or
	user interface of EMACS.  Like the Lord, EMACS appears in many
	forms.  The true form defies description in human terms.

2.  HONOR THY SENDER:  If someone took the time to analyze and describe
	a user interface issue, give this person the benefit of the doubt.
	Do not berate this person on the technicality that a completely
	extensible language has no inherent fixed properties.  Rather,
	consider the impact of the comment on the space of properties
	that one may want to choose as the "default" for a given system.
